I tried minicom on ttyS0 and lp0 (then with options I thought would output more somewhere.) It should be lp0, but maybe with a symlink to it--so far there was no output.
It's important to get it working. It would be a good idea to hook a different computer up until you figure out how to get output from a serial console. Once you have that working it will be much easier to debug.
Now I only have 1 other GNU/Linux system besides the s4882, and I do not see why just trying a different one will help.
The point was that it's very strange for nothing to be coming out on the serial port. The only reasons I see for that are a BIOS image that is corrupted (did it verify?) or doesn't match the board, or a serial port misconfiguration. I was trying to help you narrow that down. Unfortunately it can be difficult to debug someone else's BIOS when the only console is email :)
